Greenbelt is an arts festival that takes place every August bank holiday weekend.
For the last three years I have been team leader of the media capture team. The team’s objective is to capture video content and upload it to the web throughout the festival.
My role is to be ultimately responsible for the team, conceive visual and editorial approach, brief producers and editors and oversee the output throughout the festival.
I’m also responsible for team management and on-site logistics, ensuring smooth running and that footage is uploaded to the web with appropriate labels and tags on-demand throughout the duration of the festival.

The team is made up of around thirty people, including producers, camera operators, editors, interviewers, floor manager, vision mixers.
Part of my role is also to make contact and liaise with VIPs and Greenbelt contributors on-site.
The output from the team has dramatically increased over the years and features politicians, bishops, musicians, oscar winners, poets, comedians and the occasional bit of mud.
You can see all the videos produced by the media capture team at www.vimeo.com/greenbelt.
